House Mouse Challenge No. 6 ~ STITCHING!!!

I just love this stamp … the poor mother’s face says it all! And, if you count, there are EIGHT kids; Can you even imagine? Whew!

As I’ve mentioned MANY, MANY times, I don’t sew!! hmmm….but, that’s why it’s called a Challenge, right? Please note: ALL of the stitching on this card is done BY HAND (by my hand, in fact, which now includes many needle holes!)

Stitching

I hope you can go to the HM Challenge blog and check out all the cards. I am always blown away by the awesome creations of my very talented design teammates. And, why not have a try at “stitching”… believe me, if I can do it, ANYONE can! http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/

The yarn balls are actually needlepoint floss and the knitting/crochet needles/hooks are NAILs!

I can’t forget to give credit (once again) to my sister Nancy for graciously (no complaints at all) stamping all of her old Stampa Rosa HM images for me, including this one. I’m forever in her debt …. uh oh. 🙂

You always come up with the most clever design ideas!!! I love the actual “yarn” and the “knitting needles”. You are incredibly creative!!! I feel privileged to be one of your teammates:o) Your creations are consistently perfect and totally awesome!!! ANother card by Mary that I absolutely adore!!!

Hello Mary!
You made the sweetest card ever this week! I just have to tell you how creative and perfect it is! The NAILS and the yarn balls are so clever – and your stitching is so neat. I had to do mine by hand too but it doesn’t look anywhere near as good as yours. AWESOME card!
